Turns out that it was more serious. It happened again on Wednesday of last week and my wife took me to the ER. They found I had a torn retina and did emergency surgery on my eye. Needless to say, I'm going to be walking around like a pirate for a while here. _________________1.25GHz Mac Mini / 1.8GHz iMac G5 / 2.0GHz C2D Mac mini (2009)

As for ocular migraines, yes, I have. I get them about 3x a year. That video does a fairly good job of describing mine, though the area inside the patch is totally blind to me. It's really scary at times, though I usually take a few ibuprofen, drink a bunch of water, and try to get a nap if I can. Within an hour or two, they've usually faded away, and the pain goes away soon afterwards.

Thankfully, they're fairly rare for me. When I got two of them in one month a few years back, I saw a specialist a few times, and he basically explained to me that the knowledge of the brain, and in particular, migraines is very limited. We tend to over-treat with heavy drugs, which just ease the symptoms. For deep sufferers, it makes sense, but for people like me, some dietary changes helped. I try to have a much larger intake of water through the day, plus be sure I snack fairly regularly to keep my blood sugar fairly level. He had me take a logbook and whenever I got a migraine, ocular migraine, or just headache, I had to record details like how much sleep I got the night before, water and food intake, stress level, etc. I found that food and water were my biggest variables I could easily control.

cinnamon is a killer for me and my mom. When we figured that out both of us had a 90 percent reduction in headaches_________________2010 Mm 2.4 C2D oem 320gb hdd 8gb ram

cinnabun first time I went I had three. man they were good. worst headache i ever had. instant relief upon vomiting . So I new it was the bun. Wrote a letter to the company for a list of ingredients hoping for some wild card and not the cinnamon. No go after some experiments and research I found it is not the cinnamon but a mold that grows only on cinnamon so if you get a good batch fine if you get a bad batch migrane. Thailand has the best in terms of lack of mold. So sometimes I have some chai tea from the right companies and I am fine. Mexican cinnamon is notorious for the contamination of the crop. So if I don't know the product it is a no go._________________2010 Mm 2.4 C2D oem 320gb hdd 8gb ram
